my weekend.......

Well 2 wins a draw and 2 loses isn't to bad for me.

Game 1:Clense vs Chaos
my Initial plan of go for the objective and ignore the enemy unless they got in the way worked, I got my units nicely spared across all four quarters in the first turn then proceeded to rain starcannon shots on them, (this mission is so much easier when your opponent forgets the objective, he he he) it was all going rather well until he charged my scorpions and storm squad with the majority of the army. on the last turn if he killed 1 more scorpion I wasn't going to get the pts. for being in his quarter, 3 power weapons fail to wound, and the last 2 attacks were saved.

hey so far I have a 100% win ratio.

doesn't seem they liked that to much because the next thing I know my farseer is having a scrap with the greater deamon of change. I wounded him once, he bit my head off!

Game 2: Recon vs Tau
oh dear, he shot me to pieces a complete massacre for the tau, I couldn't get near him and all I could roll were 1's & 2's.
Lets just forget that one.

Game 3: take and Hold vs Daz's Chaos
I was defending he wiped out my first squad of guardians then my army just didn't want to turn up when it did I got my scorpions to the objective and there was a bit of a scuffle, in the mean time my army marches "bravely" on to the battle field only to be crushed by the juggernauts.
nevertheless a well fought game from both sides.

Game 4 : Night fight vs Black Templars.
I was quite relived when we were told it was a night fight (maybe he won't be able to shot me as much) he did though in the first turn I saw.........a blade of grass, he saw my entire army
After that it came very close I was contesting his deployment quarter and the other two and he still hadn't entered my quarter. Will came in with his jetbikes to help me hold my opponents quarter and to back up another, unfortunately will didn't get to his quarter and a unit of marines swooped in for my quarter. time was called and it was a draw.

Game 5 : Total carnage vs Chaos
he only had six small units and a land raider, I sent my army running forward all guns a blazing and got into combat as fast as possible, he didn't move his numbers were depleting the terminators were holding up my seer council I spent 3 turns trying to kill one terminator with 2 farseers. my fusion guns ripped through the rear armour of the land raider and it blew up from the inside taking 1 of my guardians in the blast hmmm 8pts. to 200 odd.
he conceded at the beginning of turn six because his aspiring champion had 1 wound and 3 starcannons were aimed in his direction.

all in all a great weekend and our team finished second.

Re: my weekend....... 

OK. My turn.

Game 1.

I fought 'nids in a dawn assault. I assaulted his gaunts and shot his stealers, and the Lord ripped up his big stuff. Good game, a few rules queries about disembarking from Raiders, I resorted to quoting rules I'm afraid. Never mind. I won.

Game 2.

I fought Nurgle Marines in a recon. I attacked down one flank and killed everything he had bar 7 plague marines by turn 2. He conceded, so I helped Anna by killing off the leader of her opponent's forces with some reinforcements.

Game 3.

IG Steel Legion.
All was going well, until a Blood Thirster turned up and attacked my Lord's Raider. It crashed killing 2 Incubi. My Lord got miffed and tore the Blood Thirster into tiny bits, doing 7 wounds in 2 combat rounds (it only has 4 wounds). However, my Lord was now on foot, and couldn't get to the close combats to help. I was well ahead on victory points, but he had a chimera sat on the objective that I only managed to destroy the weapon 3 times, immobilize 4 times and get can't move / shoot twice. Bummer. I loose. If I'd of killed it, my Wyche's raider was the next closest. I'll get you for that Will!

Game 4.

IG Steel Legion.
I got all 4 quarters. But so did he. Again, my Lord charged a unit of 8 guardsmen holding a quarter. If I kill 4. I win. If they fall back. I win. I do 1 wound and they hold. Draw.

Game 5.

'nids (what no marines?)
Pitched battle (for those who don't know the scenario, it IS a published one, it is on the GW site)
I started setting up on one flank. He set up opposite me. I then started on the other flank, he set up opposite me. In turn 1 I moved all my models bar 1 unit with 2 dark lances onto 1 flank and killed everything. My Lord got 2 carnifexes and a Hive Tyrant. I then reinforced Colin, and stopped him getting massacred. My Lord again proving that no one should mess with him by dispatching the kin thingy riders of Saim Hein.

Sat. Evening. I played Andy H.

Cleanse. My Blood Drinkers vrs his Marines.
He set up right bakc and proceeded to blow large holes in my army. Of 50 models starting the charge 10 made it to his lines. I won. Cool eh? I only had about 16 models left in the end. (Some scouts and other stuff were holding quarters and not involved in the charge) My Blood Drinkers commander proved that he, too, is hard by killing 5 marines in 1 round of combat. The best moment was when 2 plasma pistols, 1 multimelta and 2 plasma guns killed 2 Razor backs and a Dreadnought.

On a personal note, I was really surprised by the level of competence displayed by our 'lesser' gamers. I thought they would struggle. And although the hall was by no means full of tournament player, they didn't do half bad. Well done.

Cheers,

Pete
